29th September

The first calm day for some time produced a reasonable sea passage including 2 large shearwater sp., 37 sooty shearwater, 106 manx shearwater, 641 fulmar including 3 blue, and 517 kittiwake. On the land were notably more snow buntings with at least 97, and 1 lapland bunting. A carrion crow , greenland common redpoll and redstart are new, 2 grey plover were on the Links, 4 barnacle geese flew through and finally, an afternoon netting session at Holland produced a very smart HORNEMAN'S ARCTIC REDPOLL.
